Hey all

[HQ308]

Hello! I'm new. I've just joined. I'm very pleased to find this site tonight as I was looking for a place to read about lifting techniques and injury recovery. I'm experiencing some shoulder pain on weighted tricep dips that I can't seem to shake off. Other pressing issues include how do I add my gender and picture to my posts like everyone else?

Is there a help page here? :oops:

Yeah - I have a rusted oil leaking 1974 that rumbles and blows smoke. That sounds just like my ex-wife :shock:

Gidday HQ308.

How are you doing your dips when they hurt your shoulder? Have you tried leaning further forward or back, or doing them as bench dips? (I recently tried doing tricep bench dips with my feet on a swiss ball - highly recommend it!)

I have similar trouble with dips so what I do is just close my eyes and really concentrate on the other shoulder, the good one. Seems to work for me. Maybe a bit of mind over matter.
